Assembly
Use only undamaged tubing
The tubing may not show any signs of damage (e.g, kinks). This must be checked care-
fully before each use.
> If aggressive liquids are to be dispensed, we recommend using a face shield in addi-
tion to the usual safety precautions.
> The bottle must be secured with a bottle holder.
> In order to avoid splashing reagent, always hold the dosing tube firmly, and insert it
into the holder provided after use.
> Rinse the tubing to clean it.
> Do not disassemble.
